For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data<br /> or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can<br /> communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office<br /> computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates<br /> that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising<br /> annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business<br /> Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t<br /> telecommuting become more popular ?<br /> Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on<br /> the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a<br /> large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for<br /> managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.<br /> <br /> It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to<br /> accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and<br /> many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are<br /> not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes<br /> is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.<br /> Question 36: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?<br /> A. More than predicted in Business Week.<br /> B. More than 8 million.<br /> C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.<br /> D.

Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed<br /> essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied:<br /> animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that<br /> she found striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in<br /> quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote,<br /> "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked ... When a thing has been so well that it could not be<br /> <br /> said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of<br /> collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of<br /> her poetry.<br /> Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from<br /> Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,<br /> Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was<br /> editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her<br /> life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by<br /> animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was<br /> widely known.<br /> Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends<br /> associated with the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest<br /> by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for<br /> her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry for money or fame. To earn a<br /> living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has<br /> a burning desire to objectify what it is indispensable to one's happiness to express.<br /> Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?<br /> A.
